Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The official registration of the four-man team cycling for the 2023 Nedbank Namibia Desert Dash Competition entries will officially open at 10h00 on Monday 19 June 2023, the organisers have announced.<\/p>\n

In a statement sent to New Era Sport yesterday, Nedbank Namibia said the official registration for the highly anticipated four-team cycling competition is likely to follow previous years\u2019 experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, the Nedbank Desert Dash entries into the four-person team category have sold out within minutes, making it the most sought-after category in the longest single-stage cycling race in the world,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event will see exciting developments, including the addition of an e-bike category.<\/p>\n

This new category will apply only to four-person teams. If a team select to register for the e-bike category, all team members will be required to cycle the race on an e-bike.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly 15 e-bike slots will be available, and cyclists will have to familiarise themselves with the e-bike rules upon entering the race,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n

Nedbank Namibia communication and public relations manager Selma Kaulinge mentioned that the bank is proud to host this iconic event, which has for 19 years garnered immense popularity within the cycling fraternity.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach entry represents a remarkable journey of dedication, perseverance and personal triumphs. We are proud to be part of this noteworthy legacy, and we will continue working towards making the Nedbank Desert Dash one of the biggest cycling events on the continent,\u201d Kaulinge said.<\/p>\n

The Nedbank Desert Dash covers 397 kilometres and takes place annually in the stunning landscapes of the world\u2019s oldest desert.<\/p>\n

Last year, the four-man team of Christo Swartz, Carel Pieter Van Wyk, Andre Vermeulen and Ingram Cuff won the four-man team category for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n

The Desert Dash saw 1 100 cyclists register in the three categories, with 107 participants registering for the four-person team.<\/p>\n

The 24-hour race will kick off at Groove Mall in Windhoek on Friday, 8 December, and it is scheduled to end in Swakopmund at Platz Am Meer Mall on Saturday, 9 December 2023.<\/p>\n
